Last night we watched "Merrily We Go to Hell." A story about my second favorite subject: drinking.

Frederic March plays a lush reporter who wins the affections of a wholesome heiress (Sylvia Sidney). They marry and he swears off booze until his play hits Broadway and is a huge hit. He starts fooling around with his floozy ex, so his wife responds by leading a flirty life of her own (with Cary Grant). Eventually, she tires of the life and moves back in with her rich family. When the reporter finds out his wife just gave birth, he rushes to her side, and in 30 seconds, everything is happy again. Decent "pre-production-code" film exploring controversial topics of the 1930s, like unwed mothers and flapper-girl-leftovers.
